 * "The 1949 Atlantic hurricane season was the last season that tropical cyclones were not officially named by the United States Weather Bureau.[1]" they were names then, but were not kept public. Change "offically" to "pubicALLY"
 * Pubic-ally? :P--12george1 (talk) 02:29, 2 March 2014 (UTC)
 * Publicly works well imo.Jason Rees (talk) 03:26, 2 March 2014 (UTC)

 * "seven drowning deaths on Barbados.[7] " "drowning deaths" is redundant, pick either one or the other. YE Pacific  Hurricane 22:45, 1 March 2014 (UTC)
 * Can I say "deaths by drowning"?--12george1 (talk) 02:29, 2 March 2014 (UTC)

 * " the storm rapidly strengthened over the warm sea surface temperatures of the Gulf Stream." SST's usually can't be considered "war". However, they are "high". YE Pacific  Hurricane 22:45, 1 March 2014 (UTC)
 * What do you mean they can't be considered "warm"? They can be considered cold, right? Btw, you said they can't be "war", so they put be "peace" :P --12george1 (talk) 02:29, 2 March 2014 (UTC)


 * "strengthened to a hurricane later that day. The hurricane halted its forward motion and began to drift eastward. Continually intensifying, it became a major hurricane on September 6. The hurricane turned to the north on September 7, and after briefly weakening to a Category 2 hurricane, it re-attained major hurricane status. " you keep saying "hurricane" here. Change a few to "system", "it", or "Four". YE Pacific  Hurricane 22:45, 1 March 2014 (UTC)
 * Better?--12george1 (talk) 02:29, 2 March 2014 (UTC)


 * "the storm had completed a cyclonic loop." what's that? A revolution of my face? YE Pacific  Hurricane 22:45, 1 March 2014 (UTC)
 * Yes :P Actually, it's just a fancy way of saying that there was a loop in the storm's track.--12george1 (talk) 02:29, 2 March 2014 (UTC)
